Well probably quantise is the wrong word, effectively the same though. Just to be clear what I mean... Im imagining THIS scenario. Two hits of a gordius pedal set to RECORD defines the tempo of course, midi clock is sent out of EDP (via a merge probably) BACK to the Gordius. A switch on Gordius can be pressed,at ANY time, and.. because gordius is listening to midi clock IN.. WAITS before for a division of the beat. Lets say an 8th beat.. (this gap might be anything smaller than an 8th.) It sends out an UNDO command.. then waits for the same division (8th) and then fires off another UNDO, waits an 8th... UNDO etc etc as long as I keep my foot down.. I release.. its stops... OR.. A more complex sequence or MULTS INSERTS SPEED CHANGES, REVERSES, in a loop, all divided by a preset division. This is what I do NOW using a drum machine, hence the thread title.. Im looking for an alternate way to achive the same thing, it would have to be a small drum-machine (at least smaller than my Boss DR 202) as my new band entails that I put a bit of extra gear in my rack (a vocoder/synth... yeah!) and so a couple of things have to be pulled out. If I can achive this all with foot-pedal, it will be a very sunny day! Talking of weather, heres some chit chat! I just got back from a skiing trip in the mountains, we stayed over-night in a Cabin (we have a special key that opens all the cabins in Norway, for safety reasons, in case you are stranded) at night it dropped to MINUS 28 DEGREES C!!!! Now that as cold as I ever want to be again!!! I was setting the iphone to ring every hour, so I could get up and put more logs on the fire.. twice I woke to find the fire totally out!!! If the phone had run out of batteries... well ... I dont want to think about it... anyway Im home.. and feeling pretty adventurous!... It was a wonderful expreince, and in the evening Hilde sang a strange Norwegian song for the kids... I videoed it.. it was very strange and haunting! Im gonna make a track out of it.. glitch it up a bit... with her permission Ill post later...
